Bank Holiday Monday I decided to bring my Dad for a drive in the morning time so we headed for a Car Boot Sale. It was good just to rummage around and take a look at all the stalls/ boots/ vans/ trailors full of other people's items, I didn't bring the camera but I will share with you what I bought. I will go again some weeked soon to another one I know of. I prefer it to the markets as there is a very large market every Saturday on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland however it tends to have stalls with seconds, generally clothing, electricals, tools and bed clothes which aren't really my thing. I prefer to get an odd bargain and something more unique.
So here's my shopping/bargaining:
A beautiful small white and blue crochet blanket with wavy edges. I have to wash it yet but once it's washed I'll show you it properly, I thought it would look nice in my blue bedroom on the wicker chair- pretty isn't it- I got it for €4.00
Next I got this nice dainty tea cup and saucer which I thought was quite pretty for €4.00, it is now displayed in the glass cabinet in the kitchen. And there you have it- my purchases at the Car Boot Sale. I'm an amateur really!
Oh, I love it. Where is Your CBS? We went to Carrick on Shannon few weeks ago and we bought few things, I didn't show them yet, second - hand (s) are great!
ReplyDeleteHoping to go to a CBS on Saturday morning....weather permitting,my first this year!

Oh that cup and saucer is great - just like high tea!
ReplyDeletecool bargains! i'm feeling the love for all things crochet at the mo! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm selling up the house and possibly moving to London soon so I'm in dire need of a destash/declash! Any suggestions for good car boot sales in the area???
Plus I might go all yankie doodle and throw a yard sale next month - you'd be invited ofcourse! ;)
How fun...you found some great stuff! A type of flea market in Ireland? Yes, please...it sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh what great finds! I love flea market hunting/thrift shopping, there's nothing like it and you end up with beautiful things you can't easily get or are no longer available in the shops!! :-)
ReplyDeleteyou got a couple of nice things from your car boot sale, I love spending time at them you never know what bargains you might pick up
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that I haven't been to a car boot fair yet this year!
ReplyDeleteI really like the blue and white blanket, just the kind of thing I too would have bought.
Have a lovely weekend
Warm wishes

Lovely treasures, especially the cup and saucer. Sales like this one you went to are both fun and useful.
ReplyDeleteMe again! You were asking about the eidy I bought.It was £55,which I thought was quite reasonable as I've seen them go for a lot more on Ebay.Just come back from the car boot.There were only about ten tables as the weather was awful!Nothing worth buying this time.
